Comments regarding TomatoGiant.com

I saw the ad on tv for the giant tree tomatoe plants, great I ordered them over the phone and of course got the 3 big early's for the shipping also. Paid for express shipping, 5 to 7 days. Didn't get an amount on the phone they were taking from my credit card before the recording hung up. Well the commercial says they're plants. I got 6 peat pots with 6 seeds in the mail 13 days later. Tried to find a number of this place in CT. Couldnt find it. Actually found the number from another company in another state that gave me their number. I called them and told them I didnt even know how much my order was cause I didnt get a invoice. She told me the amount. And I was very unhappy with the seeds when the ad on tv says plants.I then complained to her about the priority shipping they charged me when it didnt come priority. She said it shipped in 2 days, I told her it didn't because it wouldve made it here in less then 12 and there was no priority sticker with the tracking number on the package. They are actually sending me a refund, Very misleading. I will never order off of another tv ad again. My best bet is to order off the internet where I can read and have the proof. We will see if I get my money back. oh yea, 32.88 for 6 seeds. Isn't that a hoot?

I also saw the ad on TV for these awesome looking tall tomato plants.If I were asked the question of: "What food can you live without?" the answer would be tomatoes!! Right now I have five tomato plants.Two of them producing different types and flavors of what I refer to as "a food I can't live without".So obviously I was intrigued to learn about a plant that could grow such big fruit and produce enough to keep up with MY demand.Of course I never believe in what I hear and half of what I see, and I'm an exhaustive researcher.So before I was to part with my hard earned money I went online to do my homework about this product.Here is what I found out: If you place an order for a mere $10 dollars plus S&H you receive, 3 Tree Tomato Nursery Packs (growing plants) and as an added bonus you get 3 Big Early Nursery Packs (plus more S&H). That means you pay $10 for the plants (and I'm using this term loosely) plus $7.95 for the first S&H, and the added bonus plants plus another $7.95 S&H for their gift to you!So that all adds up to a whopping $25.90.Now if for some reason you are not completely satisfied with the product you have received, the company has an unconditional satisfaction guaranteed policy.What does that mean?It means that you can return the merchandise in it's ORIGINAL CONDITION and NOT ALTERED.Now how are you to do this if you tried to grow them? Of course it's going to be altered, at the least you had to add water.The policy also states that the package has to be returned in a re-sellable condition.So after all the wait time to receive, test, and return the product to their high volume production company, and then for them to qualify you for a refund ($10 dollars) less S&H, they will ship out your unsatisfactory product to someone else?Is that the reason for sending back the package "Re-sellable"?Now say that you got damaged merchandise and you want to sent it back for a full refund ($10 dollars) less S&H. If you send them back the damaged goods (you pay the return postage) and they deem it damaged they will not issue you a refund but they will send you back YOUR damaged goods. People do your homework and if you have a craving for the fruit of the gods, go to the store and invest in good, quality, tasty tomatoes. You can't go wrong by going this route. Or do as I did and go buy plants that you can see if you have to have them everyday like I do. Yeah you also have to buy a pot, soil, and some fertilizer but I guarantee that it won't cost you as much as what has been stated previously. Plus you won't have to wait as long! Buyer beware...

Back in early March 2008, I ordered the Tomato Giant..Then in April, I finally got billed on my card, still yet to receive the plants.I came across this website 3 days after my card was billed, becoming worried about the order I placed. A week later, I receive a post card from the company saying my order has been delayed. Last Friday, May 16th, I finally received my SEEDS, which I was not at all happy about since it is now really too late for planting a new "crop" and being that when I ordered, I was "guaranteed" to have fresh ripened tomatoes for the Fourth Of July! Which I won't I'm sure...I planted the seeds on Friday and now waiting to see what is going to happen...I'll keep you posted how things work out...

All I can say is THANK YOU for this website. I just saw the commercial on CNN, and was about to order some of these for my grandfather who spends much of his time nursing tomato plants, and thought this would be a way cool gift. Thanks for warning me!

Although I never ordered the TomatoGiantTrees, I was about to when fortunately, I came across this website. It was interesting to learn Michegan Bulb was the same company offering this product. I had ordered from them several years ago and had failure after failure with their products. Anyway I also came across a website (Lipenwald, Inc.) affiliated with different companies selling their products including the TomatoGiantTree on T.V. Their E-Mail is support@lipenwald.com. I believe this may be the company you would want to talk to about any problems your having with this product.

I ordered two of their 'Tomato Trees' and received the seeded tomato pots - the instructions were very detailed as to how to begin the seeding process, but did not include watering instructions AFTER the seeding process began - I
ve submitted an e-mail request to the Customer Service dept. and am awaiting an answer. I'll check back when (if ?) I get an answer.
